Green the Color of Life

Green loved to travel
Was very influential 
Had a multi-billion dollar turnover,
His coverage spread,
Becoming ruler of the earth,
His beauty was astounding
Attracted many,
Very impressive,
People would travel for miles 
Just to look at him,
Or even stroll by,
He must hold the secret of life,
Without him, they would die,
He wasn’t just a plain ordinary color,
Like most colors,
He brought purpose and meaning to life,
He was to save the world,
This made him more special!
Other colors had beauty,
But didn’t have his ability,
Like invisible powers
So astounding 
That the world couldn’t exist,
Without this incredible green.
He flourished with his fame
Bringing healing to the nation
Surely they said!
Green was the savior,
Because in him, 
There’s life.
